William Lloyd Garrison: With reasonable men, I will reason; with humane men I will plead; but to tyrants I will give no quarter, nor waste arguments where they will certainly be lost. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5090
Gore Vidal: There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party … and it has two right wings: Republican and Democrat. Republicans are a bit stupider, more rigid, more doctrinaire in their laissez-faire capitalism than the Democrats, who are cuter, prettier, a bit more corrupt — until recently … and more willing than the Republicans to make small adjustments when the poor, the black, the anti-imperialists get out of hand. But, essentially, there is no difference between the two parties. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5091
George L. Jackson: The U.S. is the Korean problem, the Vietnamese problem, the problem in the Congo, Angola, Mozambique, the Middle East. It's the grease in the British and Latin Amerikan guns that operate against the masses of common people. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5092
Baruch Spinoza: Be not astonished at new ideas; for it is well known to you that a thing does not therefore cease to be true because it is not accepted by many. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5093
Bible: I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich) and the slander(a) of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5094
Bible: I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5095

Bertrand Russell: Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty—a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5096

George Orwell: So long as they (the Proles) continued to work and breed, their other activities were without importance. Left to themselves, like cattle turned loose upon the plains of Argentina, they had reverted to a style of life that appeared to be natural to them, a sort of ancestral pattern...Heavy physical work, the care of home and children, petty quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult… All that was required of them was a primitive patriotism which could be appealed to whenever it was necessary to make them accept longer working hours or shorter rations. And when they became discontented, as they sometimes did, their discontentment led nowhere, because being without general ideas, they could only focus it on petty specific grievances. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5112
Carl Jung: Knowledge rests not upon truth alone, but upon error also. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5113
George Orwell: People will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5114
Hugh Culliton: Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a finite system. In biology such behavior of cells is call "cancer". https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5115
León Gieco: I only ask of God that the pain is not indifferent to me, that the dried death does not encounter me empty and alone without having done enough. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5116
Voltaire: When it is a question of money, everybody is of the same religion. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5117

Quotes– @protestation@friendica.xid.ch
Tony Cliff: If I’m travelling on a filthy dirty train, as a white man under capitalism I will have a seat next to the window. The woman or the black or whoever will have a seat away from the window in even worse conditions than me. But the real problem is the train. We all have to endure the same train. We have no control over a driver who is taking us all into the abyss. Why does the capitalist class keep reminding us of these differences? Because it wants to turn our attention away from the key problem: class relations. All the time we’re told to look at personal relations, at arguments between one section and another. That is why socialists should detest concepts such as the enemy of the unskilled is the skilled, the enemy of the man is the woman, or the other way round. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5118
Pablo Neruda: There are wounds that, instead of opening our skin, open our eyes. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5119
Hillary Clinton: We created Al Qaeda (in order to fight the Soviet Union). https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5120

Stalin: The workers cannot trust their leaders when these leaders sink into the swamp of the diplomatic game, when their words are not supported by deeds, when the words and deeds of leaders do not coincide. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5122
Kwame Nkrumah: Race is inextricably linked with class exploitation. In a racist-capitalist power structure, capitalist exploitation and race oppression are complementary; the removal of one ensures the removal of the other. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5123
